−dwm - dynamic window manager
+
−----------------------------
+
−dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
+
−
+
−
+
−Requirements
+
−------------
+
−In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
+
−
+
−
+
−Installation
+
−------------
+
−Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
+
−the /usr/local namespace by default).
+
−
+
−Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
+
−necessary as root):
+
−
+
−    make clean install
+
−
+
−
+
−Running dwm
+
−-----------
+
−Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
+
−
+
−    exec dwm
+
−
+
−In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
+
−the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
+
−
+
−    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
+
−
+
−(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
+
−
+
−In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
+
−like this in your .xinitrc:
+
−
+
−    while true
+
−    do
+
−        echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
+
−        sleep 1
+
−    done | dwm
+
−
+
−
+
−Configuration
+
−-------------
+
−The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
+
−and (re)compiling the source code.
